As I started in on this cake yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that I was creating a castle cake on the same day as the royal wedding! Go figure 🙂 This cake was made for a little princess turning 5. It was a replica of the castle on the invite (see below). This cake started out as a 12×18 sheet cake that I cut to size. Then it is fondant covered. The flags are made with a fondant/gumpaste blend to help them stay waving. 🙂

Yesterday’s project: April birthday cake for my husband’s work. I had other plans initially but in the end I decided to go with cupcakes – 6 dozen of them! I hadn’t done them in awhile and I had a new recipe for a cheesecake filling I wanted to try out.
I *love* cheesecake. So delicious…so I was excited to try this new filling idea after running across it in the Kraft Food & Family magazine. Basically, you make up your cupcake batter and then make up the cheesecake batter. Fill your cupcake liners halfway with batter. Then put the filling in a piping bag and squirt 1-2 tsp of filling on top of the batter. Then put the other half of the batter on top. Easy! Bake as normal.
